thetoll Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I am kinda having the same problem. One thing is at the top you want to make sure its an internet game not a local game. If that helps any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavital Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 SOLUTION: Get your IP and give it to your friends. Have them open your console by pressing SHIFT + ~. Type, in the console "connect <your IP here>". They will connect to your server without a problem. Its probably not the only way, but its a very easy way.

puertoroc56 Posted April 18, 2002 Author Share Posted April 18, 2002 how do i find my ip address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapy Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 if you are using xp go to start run, then type command then type ipconfig it will show your ip hrm i forget all the ways to get it, 95/98 has start run winipcfg not sure what it is in 2000, maybe winipcfg is there also, or it might be start run, command, ipcfg not sure hehe Hope that helps. Ps if you have a router you need the router's ip address and not your internal one you get via ipconfig. Sundevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seerixdod Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Another option, you need two computers though. You can use one as a dedicated server en play on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kossori Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I have the same poroblem... There's got to be some way to create an internet based game... There's a lot of them out there. I've tried, but it doesn't show in the list, and when I look at "about" it says "Address: Localhost". I'm assuming that it's not even connecting to the internet. To prove this, I started a game while disconnected, it still started up fine... Also, I've set up the join games to "internet" so i can find other games, but I still can't get an internet based game started. I've even tried asking in game... but they're usually too busy to answer... -kossori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
